About Me

I was married for about seven years and had my 3 wonderful boys (Cj, Ethan and Joseph)...unfortunately, we married too young and it didn't work out. Since then, I met a great guy, Joe; and from what started as "just friends" has turned into a great relationship....and from that relationship, we have our little girl (Angie).... Oh and of course, our two dogs (Daisy and Eddie)!!
On January 7, 2005, I lost my mother(my best friend)to ovarian cancer. I miss her TERRIBLY and hope that I can be half the mother/woman she was.

I have been planning a little trip for me & the kids.... we are going to spend a few days away at the beach, while Joe holds down the fort!! I thought it would be nice to spend just "mom & kids" time and take them away from home during Spring Break..... and what better place than the beach.... fun in the sun!!!

I've got everything pretty much ready to go.... hotel room reserved, bags just about packed (we're leaving Wednesday), snacks/drinks packed, beach stuff packed and anticipation/excitement building. I am actually really looking forward to it; I love going away with the kids and watching them have fun and experience new adventures.... and plus, I really.need.a.tan.

Well, my dog decided that the plans were going to smooth and he felt the need to shake it up!!We noticed him starting to limp on Saturday and by Sunday evening his paw was more than doubled in size and he could barely walk on it.

Off to the vet we went; and after lots of tests/xrays/bloodwork and medicine, the vet says he has cellulitis and basically every muscle and joint in that paw is inflamed. Now we have to keep a close eye on him to make sure it doesn't get worse.... and we have to give him an arsenal of medicine.... and I had to spend $500 that I wasn't expecting to have to spend----- before my vacation--- where that $500 would've been very useful!!

Arrrgggghhhh.... why can't these happen when I say it's okay to happen...... and not.before.my.vacation.
